On Windows 11, Chrome asks where to save each download, but the dialog keeps starting in Downloads instead of the folder I last used. I save files into different project folders, often from Google Drive. Is there a way to get the old behavior back?
Why does Chrome keep opening Save As in Downloads instead of my last folder?

Changing the location under Chrome Settings, Downloads should give you a different default folder, but that is not quite the same as remembering the last folder you picked. It may be useful if most files go to one place, though it won't solve the multiple-project-folder problem.

Try comparing a right-click Save As with a download started by clicking a link. Those can behave differently: the right-click save may remember its last directory while a direct download opens in the configured download folder.
That won't necessarily fix it, but it can narrow down whether the reset affects every save or just a particular download method.

Right, I'm looking for the last-used folder to carry over, since the project folder changes.
